Very interesting.
I'm not cheering the guy on or anything, but I always find this kind of stuff intriguing and cool.

gotta say...this is one of the reasons I wish I had the time to e-bay some stuff. My store has 2 copies...in great condition, for $150 each. at the current rate, I could make a mint.

^ you could easily double that money right now, looks like people are skipping over the copies with label damage i don't see any of them selling lately.

Very cool that someone has done some sleuthing.
Really makes you wonder how often it is happening with the "low" production run games. I know i have picked up doubles of certain titles in the past in an effort to have a back stock for reselling down the road.
I have never and probably will never have the money though to try and corner the market on sales of anything. There is also the possibility that the same person was buying up copies before the price hikes got really noticeable. So long as this buyer/seller is smart about it he could slowly sell off his copies for a massive gain.
I wonder if the article will just help cause more of a buying frenzy now that people know there is someone out there trying to corner the market. A get it now before they are all gone kind of thing.

Sounds like a great way to make money to me.
Per usual though. Takes money to make money

It's not like this is a revelation to anyone. The same exact thing has been done with the original Odyssey.

Yeah, but it's shafting everyone that wants to lay hands on a copy into paying more.

The problem is the people shelling out more for the copies value them at that price.
How much is this game worth to you? How much is X person willing to spend to get this game to finish their collection.
No one makes anyone pay for them. It isn't like this is food at the grocery store or electricity/water costs for your home. Collecting is an extravagance not a necessity.
If everyone decided this game cost too much and stopped buying them then the prices would start to drop.

He kinda is though. because he's actively buying up copies and trying to force everyone to go through him for it.

And if people decide they are not willing to pay what he decides he wants for them he is sitting on a worthless pile of plastic.
If people decide they are willing to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on the game then he makes a killing.
The guy is living my dream. Using gaming/collecting like the stock market. Buy low sell high.

Then I kinda hope that happens and the whole gaming collecting community blacklists him.

I think we've proven time after time that we are incapable of boycotting anything as a group.

Sadly, I think that's true...
